The S shaped bars oo the sides of the roof are called Landau bars.

Willy's vehicles may've been a bit bargain basement & crude, but were famous for their ruggedness & reliability😊.

Hi Jay!: Whippet! Whippet Good! (nyuk, nyuk) But seriously, this was and important car in its day! About the only thing that was a direct competitor to the model T and later the model A Fords. I believe this was the engine Willys used in their cars during the mid thirties. Later on it was modified some and became the "Go Devil" engine for jeeps as you mentioned in the video. WYR#1 is darned hard! But I will have to go Ford A here, as interesting as the Whippet is! The A had a tiny bit more horsepower than the Whippet, also. #2 is even more hard. I was all set to say Whippet, when that Falcon-Knight was mentioned!! Going to go with the sleeve valve here, those are SO interesting!!

Really nice to see that car isn't a trailer queen. Great that it's being driven and maintained. As to the size of the starter -- with a low compression engine there isn't a need for a powerful starter motor.

I really enjoyed this episode, Jay. I haven't seen a Whippet in quite a while.

Chevy is my favorite but Willy's were strong running and plentiful 👍. But Dodge has styling 🤔 1 Chevy 2 Dodge 👌 Great Episode loved the color combination on tonights feature .... Happy Motoring ✌️🤠

That's not a Grey Hound, it's a Whippet Dog. It looks kind of like a hound, but it's a Whippet.

WYR - I’ll take the 28 Chev thanks! I’m impressed with the Wippet Jay, made the year my mother was born, whilst watching this vehicle, I was reminded of the ‘28 bullnose Morris my older brother and I found in an old shed around the corner from home once when I was around 8 years old- 48 yrs ago now! I guess the Morris isn’t well known in your neck of the woods. Thanks for all your hard work mate, it’s appreciated by all of us too !

Very sharp looking little auto! I think I would pick this one, in the second scenario it would be the Falcon Knight.😎

My dad said that a neighbor in Niles Center had one with a disc transmission, possibly a conversion from an older Lambert. They were quick little cars, and nice looking! Thanks Jay for the tour of the Whippet; better than riding in a Greyhound. 😉 Keep on enjoying Greenfield Village!📯 🌿

Normally, I'd choose the Chevy, and I also like those early Fords, but that Whippet is enticing... Same with the 2nd choice... I'd usually go with the Dodge, and that Falcon Knight is exotic, but think I'd go with the Whippet. The song sounds familiar, but I can't put my finger on it...

I can't say that I know anything about these cars. The "Whippet" has a special place in my mental hard drive. When I was a kid, my Uncle gave me his first hand built metal detector (He was an electrical engineer/designer). I took it around my yard, then went out around the ditch next to the street out front. The first thing I found was (Albeit very bent) a "Whippet" wheel center cap buried about 3 inches under dirt.

Almost all cars of the time had wooden floors but they had carpeting to cover them. I think it was Chrysler that produced the first all steel cars.

Very cool.

WYR: 1928 Whippet for both. I’ve mentioned this before, but my grandfather had a whippet six cylinder. As you noted in your video, light and high-performance (and Toledo made). Grandpa was 6 feet tall, and apparently had no issues fitting. This was the car he modified for more performance to tool the family around in. Thank you as always ~Chuck.

Nice car. He's a traveling man too.

Forever interesting!

también los tuvimos en argentina y muchos se restauró 🎥👍

The Changli electric car 🚗🚨 is may be a future E. V. Vintage classic too. Give it about 80 years. it's interesting and a fun car for cheap.

My Great Granddad had a Whippet, my dad said it was worn out, he would borrow it and had to shim up the rod bearings.

Seeing is believing……if you hadn’t presented this car in a video, I doubt I would have been able to accept that a $550ish car could have as good a build as this obviously has! Great find, and excellent report.

28 Whippet for both The engine picture was incorrect it showed a 6 cylinder engine not a 4 cylinder. If the band Devo owned the car it would be this because they like to whip it whip it good!

Audio sounded normal. Enjoy your time at Hershey.

WYR: All of them, but the Model A would get the most use. Tune: I have no idea, but it sounds like a precursor to elevator music.

In the movie COOL HAND LUKE, theres a scene where Lukes mother visits him laying in the back. im wondering now if that was a Whippet I have to go back and watch that movie

I would definitely rather have the whippit

hi jay from australia i enjoy your channel and the video you posted on the whippet it was an eye opener my dad brought a whippet in the late 1940's renovated the car as it was 20 years old by that time it would have needed an amount of work i belive his mother had to swen up the seats plus renovated quite an old car then he never took a photo of it so i never knew what a whippet looked like i know it had a rumble seat as my mother often mentioned how they took her visiting aunties from interstate for a ride in the car and they were in the back in the rumble seat out in the weather so it was great to see your video on that car /i wonder how many of the 300000 whippets made that year were sold in australia international figures would be interesting keep the great work going thanks kym roberts

For WYR, I'd pick the Ford, then the Dodge. This is a nice-looking car, but I did get the impression just by watching this it is hard to get into. We are bigger than people from the twenties... nutrition is better than it was back then.

First the 28 Chevy, the 2nd, the 28 Dodge

1st choice pick is 1928 Chevy/2nd choice pick is 1928 Dodge.

WYR. Ford Model A. Because I have one.

I kinda like the model A and the dodge. I am not sure but I don’t believe the top comes down on that car. It’s a landau or something like that. Model As had them also.

Whippet Falcon Knoght

I like the Dodge first then the Chevy

You can't kill a Willys engine.

They tried to whip it into shape but failed to gain traction.

6:09 Would it be okay for you to add torque in Newton-meters (Nm), too? Thanks.

It must be model A in the first scenario, and none in the second. I don't want a car that I can't get parts for relatively quickly and easily, so before 1930 it's either Model T (which is useless for daily driving) or Model A. Naturally, Bugatti, Alfa etc, but it's a completely different price range.

Whip It - Devo 😂😂😂

People are a little bigger now.

Looks like for the engine specs you’re showing the wrong engine. Appears to be a six, not a four.

Chevy,Dodge

Do you have a tik tok? I’ve been making restoration videos of my 48 Buick on there

Stop torturing me with these super hard songs. LOL! I loved this car but as I said in the past, I wouldn't want any pre 1940 car unless it was a retromod. Gotta have a modern power train and brakes.

Whimpet has a better styled body, while the ford has a nicer roof. Chevy was probably made in a Pakistani street factory, poorly copying the other 2... ...yes, people were smaller and not fat... If the overweight persons were politely asked to leave the event, for not being period correct, you'd be left with 3 people!
